On Monday, February 5, 2024, Mooie Dingen Makers, the municipality of Leeuwarden, and JGM serious eXperiences are organizing an interactive meeting for serious game makers, users, and enthusiasts. Creativity is crucial in solving (complex) problems. Serious games can simplify the complex reality, allowing the focus to be on what needs to be learned or done. Simulating reality can lead to a quick and efficient learning process or profound insights to improve processes. In Leeuwarden, we have various innovative, award-winning serious gaming companies, serious game makers are trained at various levels (mbo, hbo, and master), and serious games are already being used in various industries such as construction, healthcare, environment, education, and government.

'Change the Game' symbolizes the evolving playing field. Can our region of creatives, serious game makers, and researchers together contribute even more to interventions and solutions for societal issues? Join the discussion and participate. Attend the event and be inspired by speakers and participants, explore a playground featuring exciting serious games from local creators, engage in interactive activities, and enjoy a networking-focused gathering with a shared purpose.
